All Physical Education students who have a medical excuse must do one of two things to receive a grade in Physical Education class. (1) Students will dress for class, do what exercises possible and help in the class by keeping score or referring. (2) Go to the library or study hall with a term paper assignment which must be handed in at the end of Medical excuse or quarter to receive a grade. Classes missed for absence or disciplinary reasons must be made up as so as possible. P.E. grading system is based on being prepared for class with proper P. E. uniform. (Boys) Two shirts, one blue and one white; blue gym shorts; and proper gym sneakers. (Girls) A white shirt, blue shorts, and proper gym sneakers. It also includes full participation by the students in the class. If the student does not have the proper uniform and/or footwear for P.E., it is considered an unexcused class. The student will have 6 points deducted from his or her quarter grade. However, 8 unexcused classes for the school year mean that the student will not receive credit for the course regardless of the numerical grade.
